        Animal Mount Details

        They handle a wide range of big game, small game, game birds, fish, African game, exotics, and trophy work.

        They offer both skin and reproduction fish mounts, along with custom bird mounts and habitat-style bases.

        Founded in 1950, the studio draws on more than 60 years of techniques and knowledge passed through three generations, with particular experience in fish and game bird work.

        They highlight three generations of craftsmanship focused on fine details, realistic poses, and recreating your trophy exactly as you envision it.


        Pricing & Turnaround

        They do not publish prices and encourage you to visit the studio or contact them directly to discuss specific mounts and costs.

        Reviews note that turnaround can be very slow, with some long-term customers reporting waits of multiple years and describing the shop as one of the slower options in the area.

        They create custom bases depicting natural habitat for game birds and invite you to visit their showroom to see finished work in person.
